RE: Proposed Monument
SW 13th Avenue median between
SW 11th & 12th Streets
In response to your February 19, 1982, request, we recommend that a monument
not be placed in the median of SW 13th Avenue. Another location out of the
public right-of-way, perhaps within a City park, would be preferred.
From the drawing you submitted, it appears that the monument would be located
approximately seven to eight feet from an existing driving lane. In the interest
of highway safety, we desire to minimize the number of rigid and fixed objects
within the public right-of-way.
Monuments tend to draw interest by motorists, pedestrians, and others. The sub-
ject placement would require crossing of a driving lane by pedestrians and the
potential for parking on the sodded median. Should children or others tend to
congregate at the monument their attention may stray from the roadway conditions
and potential vehicle -pedestrian conflicts in their immediate vicinity.
Very truly yours,
William M. Powell
Director
